That she seems to add an element of ironic regret to her rebellion is the way in which Antigone's manner changes in "Antigone" by Sophocles (495 B.C.E. - 405 B.C.E.).

Specifically, Theban Princess Antigone keeps up her attitude of rebellion against royal trespass into divine domains of responsibility. She may exhibit less determination than anger in her first interaction with her sister Ismene. She may express equal amounts of anger and determination in her interaction with King Creon and in her second interaction with Ismene. But by the time that she processes to her death, Antigone moves from determination mixed with angry comments about Creon to an almost ironic regret about dying because she defends divine will.

Why does Antigone refuse to permit Ismene to share responsibility for burying Polyneices in 'Antigone'?

That it is a lie is the reason why Antigone refuses to permit Ismene to share responsibility for burying Polyneices in "Antigone" by Sophocles (495 B.C.E. - 405 B.C.E.).Specifically, Theban Princess Antigones asks her sister Ismene to help give their brother Polyneices' body a proper below-ground burial. Ismene refuses out of fear of the death penalty for breaking one of their uncle King Creon's laws. Antigone seeks capture for giving Polyneices a partial burial under a layer of dust because the royal law contradicts divine will and Theban traditions. She wants to make a statement in suffering the consequences and not to have anything to do with a sister whom she considers base.


What does Haemon threaten to do if Antigone dies?

He vaguely mentions that the death of Antigone will lead to the death of another. [Meaning his father.] This threat is followed through with, but not in the intended manner. When Creon goes to release Antigone from her living grave, Haemon is inside grieving Antigone's suicide. When he tries to kill his father (as he intended), his sword misses his father & he turns on it himself. [Still seeing that the threat is completed.]


How has Creon punishment for Antigone change?

Well, honey, Creon's punishment for Antigone hasn't changed one bit. He sentenced her to be buried alive in a tomb, and last time I checked, that's still the plan. So, to answer your question, there's been zero change in Creon's punishment for poor Antigone.
